Use vendored Jasmine helpers! No more copying around all those fun helpers to all your projects! Works with Rails gems like jquery-rails too!
Works in jasmine-headless-webkit versions after October 16, 2011. Whoa!
What it comes with...
It comes with the libraries I need:
- jasmine-jquery 1.3.1
- Sinon.js 1.2.0
How to use it
Add a vendored_helpers section to your jasmine.yml file:
vendored_helpers:
- 'sinon'
- 'jasmine-jquery'
...and Rails asset gems, too?
Sure, this just looks for files in gems in the path vendor/assets/javascripts/#{name}.js. So if you want
to include jQuery from jquery-rails:
vendored_helpers:
- 'jquery'
Easy!
Support in stock Jasmine yet?
Not yet, want to see how well this works first.
Why?
Two reasons:
-
Part of the problem with testing modern Rails apps is the use of JavaScript bundled in gems, specifically in the
vendor/assets/javascriptsfolder of the gems that provide them. Normally, one uses a Railtie to find out what provides those files, but you can also do it the slow way and look at all loaded gems for that directory. Recent versions (on GitHub) of jasmine-headless-webkit support loading those vendored files. -
I got sick of copying jasmine-jquery and sinon to all my projects. Now with one gem, they're all available. It also makes it easier to copy around your own JS stuff.
How do I do this myself? I don't care if it's super-slow finding all the files.
Look at https://github.com/johnbintz/jasmine-headless-webkit/blob/master/lib/jasmine/files_list.rb#L162
Warnings from the bleeding edge
So early in its development! I'm just bundling these libraries together, and if you want a newer version or a new library included, do a pull request!
